Commonwealth Prepares for Full Legalization of Marijuana in Upcoming Ballot Measure

Pending voter approval of recreational use of the drug this fall, Massachusetts State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg is getting ready to block home cultivation and retail distribution until January, 2018. Polls suggest legalization is imminent for the Commonwealth so Ms. Goldberg is also proposing the assembly of a Cannabis Control Commission which would act like the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission, a group that already functions within her office. She goes on to note that with legalization would come increased costs for enforcement and regulation.
